Red Koni Shocks advice needed
Could anyone give me some advice on the Koni red adjustable shocks. I'm hoping to change my bilsteins to get better handling with the adjustable koni shock. If your using the koni tell me about the difference between the two shocks.

I used koni's on a few of my cars and have a set on my C4. They are 5 way adjustable. There more like half turns to stiffen them up. The only draw back is, to adjust them you would need to remove them. You could probably just unbolt just the top mount and adjust them that way. I've never done them that way but heard others have. You push the shock down till it bottom and turn. I just set mine 3 1/2 front and 4 half turns rear and leave them there. Your setting may be different. You just have to play with them to find what you like. Sooooooo much better than the stock belstein I had and the belstein had only 40,000 miles.

Koni
With the Bilsteins I have on the front the nose tends to bounce a little more than I think it should especially in grooves and across bumps. I'm hoping the Koni shocks, adjusted right will give me more stable handling.
